00:00
one of the bigger free agents on the market is malik beasley but he is in the news already
00:05
because there is now a federal investigation into malik beasley in a federal gambling probe
00:12
as you see there one of the top free agents on the market malik beasley who played last season
00:19
in detroit with the pistons was in serious talks already with that pistons organization
00:24
on a new three-year 42 million dollar contract but those conversations for one of the best
00:30
three-point shooters in the nba that being malik beasley have now been put on hold it is important
00:37
to note an investigation is not a charge malik beasley has not been charged with anything as
00:43
his attorney steve haney was quick to remind espn and sham sharania yesterday but drs a gambling probe
00:50
into beasley based on one prominent sports book noticing some irregular trends in his account
00:57
back in 2024 now was this his account they noticed on like his personal account or was it just they
01:04
flagged the actual numbers on that because that does change the issue here but because but the
01:09
funny part about this is is i'm reading some of the details on it right the over two and a half rebounds
01:13
which priced at an under of a plus 118 and you're like okay if that number is changing a lot because
01:19
it finished up at minus 256 but then he goes way over the total like the flags for me would be like
01:24
all right let's put two and two together right like okay malik beasley's rebounds are two and a half
01:28
and in the first quarter mysteriously leaves the game because he said his ankle hurt or he had
01:32
cramping in his calf and never came back into the game and it won that way the interesting part is like
01:37
that two and a half he skied over that number so that odd line movement got smoked here and was a loser
01:43
but here's the good part as well which you'll flip it over because most people will look at this and say
01:48
this is why we can't have gambling because players get involved in gambling no that's not
01:52
correct this is why we have legalized gambling so we can track these things and flag them immediately
01:57
and then serve up justice and say you know what do this again to anybody else you will also be caught
02:02
at this so it's not viable if we didn't have legalized sports betting and you could do this
02:06
offshore nobody would care at that point nor there would be an investigation because it's illegal sports
02:11
gambling and let's just say it would be offshore so taking a look at this it makes sense which is
02:15
the way they found them like right ben if they would have said like hey malik had one rebound
02:19
and it won you like now hold on like that doesn't make any sense but the fact that got smoked with
02:24
that big line movement in the opposite direction it's kind of funny it's almost like hey you know
02:28
what i hate these guys i hang out with i'm gonna tell them to bet this under and i'm gonna go over
02:33
to show them a lesson like that's what it feels like happened in this scenario
